The portable base won't help enough to get it to 11-13 million; A Link Between Worlds only sold about 3 million, and that came out when the portable market was considerably healthier than it is today.

According to whom? ALBW is on 3DS which if you haven't noticed is the current portable market, I remember when people thought Smash wasn't going to sell that much on portables as well.

3DS is the current portable market, but ALBW launched in 2013, and mobile has continued to chew into the portable marketshare since then. Not every 3DS owner is going to get a Switch, (kids these days play on tablets mostly) and not every one that does is going to get BotW.
